You could supply a custom ValueEncoder for MySuperObject that would handle
either case and make your code agnostic to the type of object.
You could use:
onActivate(EventContext context)
And then grab the parameter values and convert as desired using the "get"
method (but that will require you to have some knowledge of what type of object
it is). One possibility would be to encode two values into the context,
something like (untested code; in particular, the generics are off):
List<Object> onPassivate() {
return Arrays.asList(myObject.getClass().getSimpleName(),myObject);
}
onActivate(EventContext context) {//I'm assuming that the objects are entities
and are being encoded to an integer or long id...
Class desiredType = ...//some code to generate the type. It could be as
simple as:
"MyObject1".equals(context.get(String.class,0))?MyObject1.class:MyObject2.class
MySuperObject myObject = context.get(desiredType, 1);
//do stuff
}
But there's not a way to do what you're asking directly. Activate event
handler precedence is determined by the number of parameters. Tapestry tries
to match the number of context parameters with the number of parameters in an
activate handler, then attempts to coerce the string parameter values into the
types specified in the activate method signature. So you can't have two
onActivate methods with a single method parameter because there's no way for
Tapestry to know which one to use: it will pick one and attempt to coerce the
parameter to said type.
